Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski Still Together – Vote for the Next Bachelor!

Last night’s special of The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose was boring, uneventful and, at times, painful to watch. Not only did the follow-up episode not add any new details to the lives of any of the contestants (other than Jillian and Ed) but they also revealed that a new Bachelor has not been chosen.

Jillian and EdGenerally (with the exception of last season’s dramatic After the Final Rose) the point of the special episode is to lure fans into watching the next season by revealing the new bachelor/bachelorette. Well, not this time. As host Chris Harrison explained last night, if you want to have a say in who becomes the next bachelor, you’ll have to go to ABC.com to vote.

The good news is that it seems like the next man to hold the title of Bachelor will be someone from this season. From the comments we’ve received from recent posts, it seems as though Michael Stag is a front-runner to win. Kiptyn was also a favorite but many fans feel as though Kiptyn isn’t fully over his heartbreak.

Other than the news that no Bachelor has been determined, last night’s ATFR was extremely dull. Jillian and Ed spent most of their time trying desperately to convince viewers that they were truly in love.

Regardless of how many little kisses Ed gave Jill last night, we’re pretty sure this relationship won’t last more than 6 months. Hey, that’s more than most of the previous season’s couples, right?

I was glued to the TV set all season and was very excited to see last night’s “After The Final Rose” in hopes that maybe someone would come back and announce he was the next Bachelor (IE REID!) How hot did he look, wow! I really had wanted Jillian to pick Kiptyn too though because I thought their energy and zest for life was much more aligned than her and Ed. Though in the end the show was awesome, lots of surprises and shockers. Check out these exclusive pictures I found of the show and finale!!! Enjoy!

I really feel that Ed was the right choice for Jilllian because she was looking for a husband.  I really iked Kiptyn but I felt that Ed was the "marriage material" choice.  I don't think Kiptyn is ready to really settle down.  I think Ed & Jillian's relationship will be a strong and happy one and really resent that people don't tink it will last.  I also enjoyed the show very much!  I don't think it was boring at all.  

As far as the new bachelor, I think Jake would be the perfect choice, but I think everyone will be pleased no matter who it ends up being.

I think Jake would be awsome as the new Bachelor. It would give us as viewers

a chance to see all of Jake's personality. I know all was saying that he was too perfect. I don't. There are still truely nice guys still out there. Very rare to find, but I believe that Jake just happened to be one of them.Having Jake as the new bachelor I think would do wonders for the ratings that have slipped. Yes, Kiptyn is  sexy and hot but lets not base love on physical features. I don't think he is ready to settle in a long term relationship~ with him being theheartbreaker all the time. Big dose of reality for him. Best wishes to Jillian and Ed!!

REID-REID-REID......I wont miss a show. AHhh I just adore REID

Joanne said:

I vote Reid... I can't say I would be glued to the TV for any of the other guys.  But Reid?  Yes, I would be there, come rain or shine.  Kiptyn, I would probably watch, but I think I'd get bored part way through (and let's face it, Kiptyn will never have any problems finding love... Mr.Never had his heart broken).  Though I love Jake, too... I think the boring issue would come in to play there, too.  Michael Stag... no... please, no... I think he's super sweet, but I don't think I could stomach an entire season of him and his antics.

I think out of the bachelors on this season of the Bachelorette... Reid is the only logical choice.  Maybe I'm biased because I'd love to apply for the show if it were him... lol.  Either way.  That is my rant!

Kiptyn should be the next bachlor!! He's so sweet, a gentleman and soooo hot!! He deserves someone great! Jillian picked the best man for her and I wish her and Ed well.

Aren't you tired of the same guys on the previous shows being the next bachelor? I have a guy friend that really needs some help finding the woman of his dreams.. HE should be the next one!

I think the show would be a lot of fun if Michael was the next bachelor. Kyptan or Reid  would be great also. I think it would be too boring with Jake unless he has more sides to him

PLease give Jake the opportunity to find true love.  He is a caring, honest, professional, loving and genuine gentleman that deserves to find the love of his life. He would make your show a must see every week.  He's an interesting guy and scores high in the "looks" category.  Jake, Jake, Jake!!!!! :Please

I vote for Jake as the next bachelor. Although he didn't make it to the top four, he will be a perfect catch for woman looking for a serious relationship. He seems pretty stable.

kiptyn is ready for marraige.  reid would be the father who doesn't express his joy, the husband who didn't express his passion, and while there is a woman for reid out there, God willing, i believe reid is the renaissance man, the husband who is going to sincerely say "i love you" when he loves a woman. his restraint in saying to jillian that he loves her showed me that he has integrity. he would not have stayed on the show to give jillian a false sense of security about his feelings for her being in the direction of marriage and a family if he wasn't in love.   what jillian and ed have is that elusive, precious rare love that two people discover.  there are many women as in love wtih a man as jillian is with ed who end up with a reid.  she'll be passionate which is true to her nature and her children will come to her at ages ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty five and forty and say, "my father never talks about love but i know he must love me." kiptyn's kids will hear their father express his adoration for them and his adoration for their mother not only through words but also through his passion for life.  if i weren't in my fifties i'd audition for a show that kiptyn was on, were he the next Bachelor.  his family is grounded, cultuired and educated.  that is a plus for grandchildren whom kiptyn is ready for.  reid is just learning how to

express feelings to a woman.

I think Jake should be the next bachelor. I agree with the "nice guys finish last" as many of the nice girls do as well! It would be nice to see him open up, and to see more of his personality with different women. And frankly.. he's just sexy! I have a thing for country gentlemen (not Wes though -- EW!) because I'm maryring one, so maybe I'm slanted a bit on this choice... BUT .. JAKE ALL THE WAY!! Not saying the other guys don't deserve it, but I fell in love with him from the start!!

July 29, 2009 8:21 PM
 

karen said:

REID- the only one that is intriguing enough to keep me watching.  I want him to find love, Jillian totally dissed him and led him on!

Kiptyn seems sweet, but dull. The other guys are too boring.

July 29, 2009 8:52 PM
 

Tina Tewkesbury said:

I agree that REID should be the next bachelor.  He has my vote as he was handsome, articulate and a real gentleman who is looking for a committed relationship.  I wouldn't miss an episode at all!  Reid, if you see this, I wish you well in your search for the right woman!

I think JAKE should totally be the nest bachelor. I loved him. I mean, to perfect? Please!! If only every guy was like that! To me, Reid seemed really selfish after he came back and after the final rose show. I'm tired of him. It should be JAKE or someone new. = )

I think kiptyn should be the next bachelor.People say he is'nt over his heartbreak but he is ready.he got 19,000 votes on extras  voting I really want kiptyn  to be  the next bachelor because I've voted  for him for a long time.kiptyn is my first pick then Reid. Kiptyn would make more people watch the show.Kiptyn is a perfect bachelor!  

July 30, 2009 1:47 AM
 

Peyton said:

I think Kiptyn should be the Bachelor but people say he's not over his heartbreak but he is ready to be next! If not Kiptyn then Reid either one I would watch. I like them both. If michael as next I'm not gonna watch an slot of other people won't either. On Extra's voting Kiptyn got 20,000 votes and Reid got 4,000. I like Reid alot but Kiptyn should be next  Bachelor. If the show was called the bachelors and Reid and Kiptyn both found love that would be cool. GO KIPTYN!!!!!

Cathi said:

JAKE-JAKE-JAKE-JAKE.  He is the sexist pilot I have ever seen, his body is to die for, love him in uniform, he is honest, humble and would make a great bachelor.  He reminds me of Ryan (Trista's Hubby)  so adorable.  NOT Kiptyn-he was always the heartbreaker, never had his heart broken!! Until now?????  Whatever.  Not really sure that was real either.  NOT Reid-to unsteady with his emotions.  Seems fake sometimes.  Again-JAKE-JAKE-JAKE-JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the 20th vote  for reid WOOT WOOT!

if i cant have reid i want to atleast see him fall in love!

July 30, 2009 12:04 PM
 

Kate said:

Michael would be the best choice.  With him you would have the most people watch the show because he's got the most energy, he's gorgeous, and his story isn't as known as everyone elses so people would be more into it.  Reid's too boring, Jake is too much of a goody-goody, and Kiptyn I'm sure isn't ready for it.

Kiptyn!! he's YUMMY! I'd love to see Reid too but Kiptyn is my first choice!

JAKE should be the next bachelor. end of story.  There is no other in his league. He is very mature, intelligent, extremely sexy, photogenic, need I go on.   He could be another Brad Pitt!  GO get Jake now, ask again if he said no.  He was not a perfect match for Jillian, and there will be a princess out there for him.  He won't have any trouble choosing exactly his match.I'm sure a whole new Jake will emerge and be very exciting entertainment that will keep us on the edge of our seats.Can't wait to see you, Jake!!!

I think Kiptyn should be the next bachelor. He seems nice and real. I first thought it should be Jake but I think he is too nice and the show will ruin his reputation.  Look at the last two Bachelors, one guy didn't pick any of the girls and the other picked both. Both  bachelors ended up looking like jerks. I think kiptyn can turn it around and pick the right girl without looking like an a**.

Florence Koehler said:

I would definitely vote for "Jake" the airline pilot.  He was a true, honest, handsome, guy. I was surprised Jillian didn't pick him. I really believe...he would raise the ratings of this show even more.  Reid was nice, but way toooooooo shy and if he is voted, it was because people felt sorry for him.

Kyptyn or JAKE!!!

Either Jake or Kiptyn for sure! I'd watch either of them - but not so sure about Reid. Plus Jake (especially) seems to really yearn to find that special some one. And Kiptyn - well he is just a complete class act - the entire package - a joy to watch, too.
